Zusammenfassung:"When Cowley died, he was the most famous poet in England. His popularity continued throughout the eighteenth century. Yet Cowley has virtually disappeared from the canon today, even from metaphysical poetry collections, although it was Cowley who occasioned Samuel Johnson's famous definition of metaphysical poetry. This book considers the circumstances behind Cowley's falling out of the canon and what he might offer future generations of readers discovering his poetry anew."
